Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020's has led to the rapid growth of e-commerce in recent years, which has necessitated a greater understanding of the factors that contribute to customer satisfaction in the online context. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the e-marketing strategies and customer satisfaction in Lazada. The online survey was carried out to collect data and information from 100 respondents. In this study, five independent variables are investigated. The results indicate assurance and responsibility have significant and positive influence on customer satisfaction whereas efficiency has significant and negative impact on customer satisfaction. This study aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), such as decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), as well as responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). In conclusion, this study contributes to the existing literature on e-commerce by providing empirical evidence on the impact of e-marketing strategies on customer satisfaction RETRACTION NOTE: The reason for retraction is duplicate publication.

Abstract

Starbucks was founded in 1971 and is currently the world's largest chain coffee shop. Starbucks invaded Asian countries such as Malaysia, India and Indonesia a long time ago, and Asian countries have emerged as one of the most devoted customers. Brand loyalty is one of the most essential factors in increasing a company's revenue through customer retention. Starbucks' brand loyalty is influenced by several aspects, including pricing, products offered, product quality and taste. The purpose of this research is to determine how Starbucks develops brand loyalty among its customers in Malaysia, India and Indonesia. This survey will also be able to determine whether Asian customers will continue to be devoted Starbucks customers. The survey involved 136 people who are loyal Starbucks consumers from Malaysia, India and Indonesia. The data for this study was collected through online sources and questionnaires. We hope that this study will provide recommendations for increasing brand loyalty among our Asian customers, particularly in Malaysia, India, and Indonesia
